This is one small (yet cozy) restaurant on Solano just off of San Pablo. Don't know how we missed it for all these years. But glad we had a craving for Japanese the other night and all the research pointed to Sugata. Appetizers consisting of...More

Sugata has been my favorite since before I moved into the neighborhood in 2009. The Endo family, owners and cooks, have become more than restauranteurs in my life; Mrs Endo is like my aunt. The food is consistently delicious, with home-cooked flavors from my mom's...More

Set in a lovely and traditional Japanese environment, the soup and sushi were delicious. The meticulous preparation for each item was impressive. The server was prompt and alert.
